PICTURE OF sEDGwICK.

Hon Robert D. Lawrence, during his visit to his old New England home, last summer, secured cabinet photograph of General John Sedgwick, for whom our county was named. He has had Mir Rogers reproduce life-sized, or rather heroic-sized picture from this cabinet, which work seems we'll, in fact most ex- cellently done. This has been put in an expensive frame and MT Lawrence is now ready to carry out his original de- sign of making the county present of the picture, which will be hung up in the court room until the new court house is built.
 The action of Mir Lawrence is a most commendable one. The .-Sedgwick family are distinguished one in American politics, law and literature for nearly two hundred years. Gen John Sedgwick was born in Connecti- cut in 1914, graduated at West Point ID 1887, served in the Florida and Mexican wars, became major general in 1862, and fell at the head of his corps at Spottsylvania, when the war was nearly ended, in 1862. -fWichita (Kansas) Daily Eagle, Dec l.

The Wet and Dry Editors Tell What The!
Think About It,

The Wet and Dry Editors Tell what They
Think About 1t.
NEW YORK, Nov. 80 The "wet" and
"dry" editors OF the Atlanta Constitution
give their opinions to the world OF the
subject Of "Why Atlantis went wet" Mr..
Evan Howell, the "wet" editor says:
"The prohibition law had been tried
for two yesrs, and it had proved failure.
Tie pros claim it did not have fair trial
Constant agItatioD Of prohibition for
years has had only q bad result, I have
noted so far 50 1t affects the city
There were large quantities OF liquor
brought into the city daily from
neighooriDg cities, and the large Insj 7ri'y
given for anti-prohibition was not only q
protest against the law but against the
strife and bitterness engendered in the
first campaign. | am sure conservative
men on both sides will come together and
throw around the retail sale Of liquor all
necessary restraints, and that it will be
better for the CITY. The part the women
took in the election at the polls has been
greatly exaggerated"
II w Grady, the "dry" editor, says:
"The defeat OF prohibition YVES not IN
expected. TIE negroes were almost SOL
idly against it. Much OF this WAS due to
the influence of Yellowstone Kit, rich
end shrewd medicine vendor, Worshiped
by the negroes, who spoke at the anti
meetings, and was carried on the
shoulders of negro men. The part taken
! in TIE campaign by the ladies was not sig.
nifcsnt. Prohibition IVES not beaten
or lis merits. The law was too
extreme, it being Impossible

wine without violating 1t. It's admins

not been for these things the undeniable
good Of its work would have overcome

Not the slightest Ill feeling survives the

is to be elected December 6"
Ga the fighting for that the leaders Of
the two factions will probably unite on g

seek TO elect it by compact OF the cor

will urge q union of the best element G

Antoni VS.. Greenhow.

The case Of AntOni Us. GresnaOlo, No. ,,
which arose under the RIDDLEBEBGER bill,
We have often referred to as proving that
the Supreme Court Of the United States
could not consistently hold that tender OF
unverified coupons was legal tender en-
titling the person rendering them to regard
his taxes as paid. The following from the
Norfolk Euening NeloS shows that Judge
BROOKE, Of that city, has very decided
opinion on that point. We quote:
ain last MAY a number Of liquOr-dealers
OF this city rendered w. W. Hunter, city
treasurer, coupons in payment OF their
licenses. The treasurer refused to re-
ceIye them in payment of their licenses,
but offered TO take them for identified
ton and verifcation under recent
act OF the Assembly known as Coupon
Killer No. l.. They refused to leave their
coupons for identification and yeriication,
and paid the amount OF their taxes 10 money
under protest.
"They then sued to recover back their
Tespt ctive amounts.
Judge Brooke decided in these clses
that II the case OF ARtORi rs. Gree1uhOlr
decided by the Supreme Court, meant any
thing OF all, il meant that when the State
passed a law allowing the treasurer to re-
ceiye coupons for Identification AMI yerili.
cation, that il had done all that could be re-
qulred Of 1t, and therefore judgment was
given IN favor Of the Commonwealth"
